Used 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis Consumer Reviews
fantastic ride for a great grandmother!
For a v-8 this car has great fuel economy, rides fantastically, everything is like riding in and driving a very expensive automobile. I love my car and since the paint was peeling I had it repainted and it looks like a brand new car. Fantastic automobile!!!! I would recommend it anyone!!!! I still have my car just have a new fancy stereo! I love it and wouldn’t get rid of it for anything!!! I still can’t believe that the fuel mileage is so fantastic!

Classic comfort and quality
Have been wanting a large sedan for sometime after driving a smaller car for the mileage as a commuter. Now retired and 56 I decided it was time and after studying all reports and reviews I was convinced that this tried and true design was perfect for me. Also the fact that the car was a demo with very low miles made the price and deal UNBEATABLE!! Very comfortable and easy to drive and for a V-8 has reasonable mileage and is very quiet and smooth. Great value.
1993 Gran Marquis - New Jersey
Had an inexplicable 25- 26 mpg on old, old, off brand standard plugs. Replaced with newest, expensive Fomoco platnum, gold plugs: 22 mpg! If I could go in the garbage and get my old plugs back, I would. Just turned 200,000 miles. Still rides well The car has asked me for nothing in terms of repair. Okay, idler arm and a ball joint. I always use Mobil 1. I can't get rid of the car because it still runs so well. I use Michelan Symetry tires (pricey, but oh what a great ride). Got to say that I really like my '93 Gran Marquis.
Get it while you can
Nine years ago I went from a bullet proof Crown Vic into a Chevy Impala, which was a mistake. My Impala nearly fell apart at 90K miles, so it was a no brainer to return to the 'panther' platform Ford. I have to admit that the convenience features of the Impala are missed such as console storage, homelink, and very functional cup holders, but the ride, and spacious interior make up for it in the Grand Marquis. I have to admit that I had forgotton about the 'old man' jokes that come with this car (I am 40 years old).
Help on gas mileage
it handles well and the overall performance is great except for the gas mileage which is between 14-15 miles per gallon. I average driving about equal city and distant and have also tried high test gas to see if this would improve my mileage but to no avail. please give me so ideas to increase the gas mileage as i have a 1996 ford truck that does this well. thank you
